use DNS Host (A)... the help link next to it describes what the options do, and this is the option that does what you want

I have no idea what any of these are. I just left it on default (dnshost A) cause it was asking for a URL and port for the redirects. I got my ip address in there (the main ip, not my actual pc's ip given by the router).

OK, did you select anything for the hostname box? don't worry about assigning to groups, remailers, accepting mail, etc. Just enter a hostname, type dns host a, and your external IP.

--loginconfig.ini--

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net
loginserver3=eqlogin3.eqemulator.net

These are the old login servers. use eqemulator.net only.

loginport=5997
loginport2=5997
loginport3=5997

This is the wrong port. Use 5995 only.

worldname=jimbos test
worldaddress=24.154.xxx.xxx

I said to use your no-ip.org domain name here.
worldaddress=yourdomain.no-ip.org

locked=false

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=0
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

you may need add the [chatchannelserver] section. I had to, although I'm not sure why.

[chatchannelserver]
chatchannelserver=yourdomain.no-ip.org

--Boot5Zones.exe--

start zone . 24.154.xxx.xxx 7995 localhost
start zone . 24.154.xxx.xxx 7996 localhost
start zone . 24.154.xxx.xxx 7997 localhost
start zone . 24.154.xxx.xxx 7998 localhost
start zone . 24.154.xxx.xxx 7999 localhost

set this to start zone . yourdomain.no-ip.org port localhost again, and try the above changes. also, did you update your hosts file?

**EDIT**

Do I need to edit anything inside my router? I just went in and checked and most of the stuff I have no idea about, but I was able to conclude the Firewall is disabled inside of it.

Work on this other stuff first.
